Bet Bundesliga! Miller picks Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen in Saturday play

Two banged up top three Bundesliga sides meet Saturday in Leipzig

While it is pretty apparent that Bayern Munich is probably winning the Bundesliga, the two teams below them, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen (along with a surprising Wolfsburg side) will make the battle for UEFA Champions League places very tough over the next few months.

Leipzig hosts Leverkusen in the late game Saturday, with both teams without key players.

Both teams come in off losses, and quickly need to get a result here with places three through eight in the table separated by just four points.

Both teams have significant players missing through injury, but it is the hosts that probably can pick a stronger side here.

I will go with Leipzig, in what could be a very interesting game.
